F Dm x4

 F              Dm
Now is time to take recourse
    F                   Dm
To drag my bones from 'neath his corpse
   F                Dm
Retract the blade within his heart
   Bb                 C
Inscribe our initials in the bark
     F                  Dm
Of every tree in every woods
    F                  Dm
In ink red blood, can you imagine?
         F             Dm
While wearing his head as a hood
     Bb               C
I'd take life for a crime of passion


 F        Dm
Lies told
 F        Dm
Lies told
 F        Dm
Lies told
 Bb       C
Lies told

F

   F          Dm
Darling, if I had the choice
       F           Dm
I'd excavate his throat of voice
       F           Dm
And corrugate his vocal chords
    Bb              C
To play a tune to please the Lord
      F                Dm
Make him recite this murder ballad
    F              Dm
A sombre tune told by a bore
       F               Dm
Pump blood around the limp and pallid
  Bb        C    
Harmonising as you snored


 F        Dm
Lies told
 F        Dm
Lies told
 F        Dm     x2
Lies told
 Bb       C
Lies told

Gm

                  Gm
One day when I'm older
                  Gm
I'll write it all down
                        Gm
A portrait of the trequartista as a young man


Bb C Dm C x2


Bb                  C
We all know we're gonna die
         Dm                 C
We're a speck of dust in a bad God's eye
    Bb                 C                   x2
He rubs us clean, but love is blind
    Dm                     C
A balloon artist kisses porcupine


F                  Dm              
We all know we're gonna die
         Bb                 C
We're a speck of dust in a bad God's eye
    Bb                 C
He rubs us clean, but love is blind
    Dm                     C      Bb
A balloon artist kisses porcupine
